    Summary

    Ryland Grace is the first human to ever live on an exoplanet, and this was not an eventuation that was planned for.

    This post-canon fic follows the teething issues of life on Erid: alien engineering and mechanics, the eventual sequelae of malnutrition, and the psychological effects of being very, very far from human touch.

    Despite all this, Dr. Grace might just be the only human alive who feels more at home in the company of aliens than he ever did on Earth.

    No-one is quite sure what to do with that.

    Summary

    I have a total of forty-two drones aboard ART. (Okay, the Asshole Research Transport that I’m on is actually called Perihelion, but seeing as it threatened to melt my neural tissue when we first met and later kidnapped me, I’d say it’s more than earned the nickname.) Thirty one of them are small intel drones no more than a centimeter across, ten are bigger, standard-sized scout drones, and one is a large, newly-constructed ops drone, with extendable arms used for manipulating the environment that unfold out from its central, oval-shaped body. It’s a lot like the drone that ART piloted on that stupid fucking alien-remnant-contaminated planet, although it probably won’t be as much of a sarcastic asshole.

    Kidding. I’ll still be the one operating it.

    Whatever. The point is, I have all of these drones, and I still didn’t see her coming.

    "Excuse me. Can I draw you?"

    ****

    We know the next book will feature Dr. Mensah's children, which made me think about how Murderbot might get along with a child like my daughter. This story is the result of me giggling too much about it.

    Summary

    "Rocky worry worry worry."

    "You don't need to worry, Rock," Grace insists with a smile and a gentle three-beat tap against Rocky's ball. "You just need to heal. Grace worry worry worry."

    (After the fishing mission, Grace and Rocky are both worse for wear. Grace breaks a rib. His lungs don't like that.)

    Summary

    The journey back to Erid after Grace's sacrifice to save his best friend is halfway over.
    After many tears on Ryland's side and a few weeks of clinging to each other, they slowly get used to their day-to-day routine.
    This, however, doesn't mean they've overcome all their difficulties. Matter of fact, they can't seem to get rid of them at all! Quite the opposite, actually..
